Thank you all for your wonderful findings.

Here is transcript of part of a GROVE FARM FLAXLEY Catalogue of the farm to be sold by auction under instructions from Mrs PALMER 1871. Until I began typing I had missed the clue to the exact position of said farm i.e.'ONE MILE FROM NEWNHAM STATION'![I realize the station no longer exists].

The catalogue was sent to me by the present owner of a GROVE FARM in 'in Westbury Parish but Newnham postcode'.Whether the document relates to her farm I do not know. But it does show that a PALMER lived at Grove Farm Flaxley in 1871.

“GROVE FARM FLAXLEY
One Mile from the Newnham Station
CATALOGUE
OF THE VALUABLE
LIVE AND DEAD STOCK
Ricks of Hay and Clover etc

who is quitting the Farm and declining business, to
Sell by Auction, on Tuesday, 24th Oct. 1871…”

I will enc a transcript of John PALMER's 1812 will in another post. As well as showing his children it includes other names that might benefit someone.
